This week, we volunteer as tribute to watch “The Hunger Games!” How does it stack up to the book? About 1/1? I’d say 1/1. It’s 2012’s “The Hunger Games!”

We’re kicking off a new series this week with “The Hunger Games” by Suzanne Collins. It’s fairly obscure, so you probably haven’t heard of it. “The Hunger Games!”

Let’s close out our “Bridge to Terabithia” coverage with 2007’s “Bridge to Terabithia” a Disney/Walden Media production that changes a few things, adds a bit more and averages out to a pretty decent little film.

Can you distill the glory that is “Bridge to Terabithia” down to its component parts and cram it into a 55 minute runtime? Katherine and David Paterson definitely say “no.” But, what do Christy and Phil think of the very Canadian 1985 TV adaptation?

After the euphoric highs of our “Stargirl” discussion, let’s transition into the drastic lows of our “Stargirl” discussion as Christy and Phil attempt to say something, anything, nice about the Disney+ adaptation of “Stargirl” from 2020.

She’s not a Manic Pixie Dream Girl. She’s Stargirl! Christy was so correct to suggest Jerry Spinelli’s “Stargirl” for our next episode because this books RIPS. It’s so good, our episode is pretty short because we talk SO FAST! It’s just a really good book, y’all. It’s “Stargirl!”

In 2021, Netflix and Amy Poehler adapted “Moxie” into a motion picture event. How did it end up? Pretty good! It’s “Moxie” the movie!
